“There are major, major, major infrastructure issues that we’re going to have to deal with and fix,” Superintendent James Parla said. “It’s an ongoing, year-in and year-out issue. You name it, we have it.”

A strategic planning committee has begun compiling a long-term plan to address the district’s facilities issues, but nothing will be fixed overnight, Parla said. Altogether, it would cost about $130 million to completely upgrade the district’s facilities, he said.

The issue is compounded by the lack of a facilities director to oversee the entire district’s infrastructure problems, Harvey said.

The issues are left to be reviewed by schools’ individual maintenance directors who may not be equipped to deal with them, he said.

“I can’t really fault the people that are there now,” Harvey said. “They’re doing the best with what they have, but some of the systems are 100 years old.”
